Revision as of 22:59, 25 April 2012

A meeting of the most active PostgreSQL developers is being planned for Wednesday 16th May, 2012 near the University of Ottawa, prior to pgCon 2012. In order to keep the numbers manageable, this meeting is by invitation only. Unfortunately it is quite possible that we've overlooked important code developers during the planning of the event - if you feel you fall into this category and would like to attend, please contact Dave Page (dpage@pgadmin.org).

Please note that this year the attendee numbers have been cut to try to keep the meeting more productive. Invitations have been sent only to developers that have been highly active on the database server over the 9.2 release cycle. We have not invited any contributors based on their contributions to related projects, or seniority in regional user groups or sponsoring companies, unlike in previous years.

This is a PostgreSQL Community event. Room and refreshments/food sponsored by EnterpriseDB. Other companies sponsored attendance for their developers.
